the various
organizations and persons likely to be interested should be
notified that the Committee will, at a certain place and date, in
Wellington, hear any evidence they may desire to tender."

The Committee regrets that owing to ill health Dr. Valintine,
Director-General of Health, was unable to act as one of its members. His
place was taken by Dr. J.P. Frengley, Deputy Director-General of Health.
Unfortunately, illness also overtook Mr. Murdoch Fraser, who has been
unable to attend the sittings of the Committee since the middle of
August. The remaining members have been present at all sittings of the
Committee, details of which are appended in the following table:--
